Abstract/Contents:Discusses integrated pest management (IPM). States that "IPM was developed to reduce the reliance on chemical pesticides by encouraging the use of other treatment methods such as biological controls, physical controls and mechanical controls, for example vacuums." States that "the implementation of IPM shifted the focus from killing pests with chemicals to understanding pest behaviour and applying measures to discourage, repel or otherwise manage them." Also discusses agricultural vacuums stating that "numerous manufacturers produce a wide variety of debris removal vacuums that range in size, form and function."

Note:Correction note appears in Sports Turf Manager, 21(2) Summer 2008, p. 24: "Turn off the pesticides and turn on the vacuum (Spring 2008 Sports Turf Manager): The Adult chinch bug was mistakenly identified in the photo on page 9. The photo is actually its predator, the adult big-eyed bug. The two are similar in size and are often confused when seen in the grass. The big-eyed bug is usually brown in colour and has very large eyes (hence the name); the chinch bug's head and eyes are much smaller and its adult colouration is typically black and white. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused"
